Barbara Bullard on Oct 18, 2016If you have the space in your bathroom, it would make a great addition. Plenty of attractive storage and the mirror would show of your everyday items if you use pretty glassware concealing the mundane contents.Helpful Reply

Sonya Theos Hohl on Oct 18, 2016You could use it as a curio cabinet. If so, if possible , it might look better to take the flourishes, high curved arches, off the top. That way you could then use the top for lamp, etc. If the top isn't finished, get a nice piece of wood stained the same, to complete.Helpful Reply

Alvin on Oct 18, 2016Carmen, it really is too beautiful to modify too much. If it's too bulky for your dΓ©cor or wall area, do consider what Jcraw said, to find a craftsman to build matching legs so as not to be too high and as Sonya said, if the top scroll can come off with out damage to give a simpler look but still very beautiful.Helpful Reply

Catherine Bridges on Oct 18, 2016It is beautiful. I was trying to figure out if the table and chairs pictured are part of your dining room now. If so stain or paint the chairs and table to match the hutch or if you must -chalk paint the hutch and chairs (and base of table). It sure is pretty like it is though. Hope you find an answer. Let us know how it turns out. Best of luck to you.Helpful Reply
